This fully-electric luxury performance car blends comfort and convenience with instantaneous power delivery.
As the first fully-electric performance model to come from BMW M GmbH, the i4 blends together elegant gran coupe cabin design with class-leading driving dynamics and the instantaneous power delivery of BMW's latest 5th generation eDrive. Powered by technology that combines the electric motors, power electronics, charging system, and high-voltage battery, the new i4 is engineered for improved vehicle agility.
The new BMW i4 additionally delivers excellent traction, controllable handling, and excellent stopping power, all with zero tailpipe emissions. Remarkable agility can be attributed in large part to a rigid body structure and sophisticated chassis technology which includes lift-related shock absorbers, rear air suspension, electromechanical steering, integrated braking system, and more. The high-voltage battery is located low in the vehicle's floor thereby reducing the center of gravity for improved handling and a well-balanced mix of engaging sportiness as well as luxurious ride comfort for extended journeys.
With its sporty looks, best in class driving dynamics and zero local emissions, the BMW i4 is a true BMW.
It makes the heart of the BMW brand now beat fully electric.
